We finally went to the Austin Zoo...I can't believe it was out first time to visit! It was so much fun. It is a different, smaller zoo but that makes it very accessible and pretty easy with little ones. Plus they have a train.
The animals are all rescued animals. Some were rescued from the circus and many were animals that people tried to have as pets and couldn't care for, etc. We will definitely be back for more visits. We spent a couple of hours out there; checking out the animals, riding the train and having a picnic lunch that we brought with us.
Peter and Miles. They just. will. not. smile. for. pictures.

A huge turkey.
When you pay admission you get some food to feed the deer, goats and sheep. The boys thought this was awesome. Some of the goats got pretty aggressive and we had to cut it off after a while. Jake almost lost an arm.
Feeding time.
Peacocks wandering the grounds
A giant pig. Really...you can't tell how huge he is in this picture.
These lions (formerly circus lions in poor conditions) were VERY hungry and rammed the fence when we walked up.
